I have two printed circuit boards left over from when I was replacing the
incandescent lamps in Racal 6790s. I laid them out from the drawings in
the Racal manual and they mimic the original LED boards as close as
possible. They are uncut rectangles and will need to be trimmed and have
the holes cut out where the LCDs peek through. The LEDs are in series
blocks of four with dropping resistors. I found a block of four LEDs was
the optimal point for the incandescent supply voltage and keeping the
dropping resistors small and low wattage. There are provisions for 32 LEDs
in all, 8 above and below each LCD window.
I'm not into Racals anymore. The boards are available, one for $7 each
postpaid or $10 for the pair postpaid. These are just the printed circuit
boards. No LEDs or dropping resistors.
Best,
